I wouldn't use Running Records for middle school students. They are designed for primary grades. The QRI is a really good informal reading assessment. It takes a little while to give, but it gives you awesome data.
There is a passage, I usually have them read it silently first, then out loud so I can do miscue analysis. I don't do the outloud every time, but definitely to get a baseline. Then, there are comprehension questions at the end and a spot for a retelling. I like the QRI specifically because it asks different types of questions- inferential, literal, etc. so you can see exactly what the student needs.
